Sally and Molly...

For me, visiting New York is almost always about walking until my legs feel like they are going to fall off, enjoying a bowl full of asian noodles, and taking in the city by night. I love to disappear into the vastness of the city and enjoy how small and insignificant the city makes me feel. This trip, however, took me down memory lane! Emma and I were able to spend the day with Sally on Friday...

Considering I used to tuck her in for her naps, it is hard to imagine Sally recently finished college and moved to New York to peruse her writing and theatrical endeavors. Sure seeing her so grown up and giving my daughter college advice over a latte made me feel a wee bit old, but knowing Sally has blossomed into such a confident and courageous young woman is seriously cool. I predict she will take NYC by storm!

And just when I thought things couldn't get any better, I learned that Sally's middle sister was going to be in town that very evening. Like her both of her sisters, Molly, has always held a special place in my heart. She popped over to our hotel and we grabbed a bit of dinner before settling in on the balcony with a bottle of wine (or two) for hours of conversation. To say I am proud of this young woman is a huge understatement. She is admirable in the truest sense of the word and I am honored to know her.

Spending some time with two of my all-time favorite ladies made me happy beyond words!
